    Traditional right ventricular pacing as well as cardiac resynchronization therapy are both successful and well established methods of stimulation in patients with heart conduction system disorders. Although classical stimulation methods perform the primary function well, the detrimental effects of long-term apical stimulation are well known. For this reason, a new method of stimulation, his bundle pacing (HBP) was introduced ( 1 , 2 ). In this case report, we will briefly describe the anatomy and physiology of the cardiac conduction system. We will look at patient preparation and nurse tasks during and after the procedure. And lastly say something about the benefits of his bundle stimulation method.
